Pygmalion (mythology)

Pygmalion Adoring His Statue by Jean Raoux, 1717

In Greek mythology, Pygmalion (/pɪɡˈmliən/; Ancient Greek: Πυγμαλίων Pugmalíōn, gen.: Πυγμαλίωνος) was a legendary figure of Cyprus. He is most familiar from Ovid's narrative poem Metamorphoses, in which Pygmalion was a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved.
